| [00:13.951] |
When this dreadful war is ended |
| [00:17.859] |
I will come again to you |
| [00:21.244] |
Tell me dearest ere we sever |
| [00:24.636] |
Tell me, tell me you'll be true |
| [00:28.264] |
Though to other scenes I wander |
| [00:31.634] |
Still your memory pure and bright |
| [00:34.981] |
In my heart will ever linger |
| [00:38.414] |
Shining with undying light |
| [00:41.814] |
Do not weep love, sit beside me |
| [00:45.451] |
Whisper gentle words of cheer |
| [00:48.829] |
Be not mournful now my darling |
| [00:52.207] |
Let me kiss away each tear |
| [00:57.144] |
|
| [01:07.259] |
(Verse 2) |
| [01:09.334] |
On the gory field of battle |
| [01:12.973] |
Your sweet voice will nerve my hand |
| [01:16.331] |
And when weary, sad, or wounded |
| [01:19.727] |
Your fair image near me stand |
| [01:23.391] |
In my visions, like some angel |
| [01:26.546] |
You will turn my grief to bliss |
| [01:30.196] |
On my pale and fevered forehead |
| [01:33.324] |
I will often feel your kiss |
| [01:36.664] |
Our dear native land's in danger |
| [01:40.306] |
And we'll calmly bide the time |
| [01:43.456] |
Till this dreadful war is over |
| [01:46.605] |
And the bells of peace shall chime |
| [01:51.206] |
|
| [01:54.310] |
|
| [01:56.654] |
|
| [01:59.554] |
(Verse 3) |
| [02:03.204] |
When this dreadful war is ended |
| [02:06.340] |
Soon I hope the day will come |
| [02:09.699] |
Love's own star will lead my footsteps |
| [02:12.845] |
Safely back to you and home |
| [02:16.240] |
Oh, what joy again to meet you |
| [02:19.033] |
When the threat'ning storm is past |
| [02:22.433] |
And the flag our foes have planted |
| [02:25.979] |
Flies in shreds upon the blast |
| [02:28.613] |
Farewell, farewell! best and dearest |
| [02:32.261] |
Do not let your heart repine |
| [02:35.631] |
Though the sky may now look gloomy |
| [02:38.485] |
Soon the sun will brightly shine |
